About the only thing I dislike on my 2023 Subaru Outback XT is the factory rack. I have had a Thule square bar rack since my 2014 and 2017 BMW’s and it has served me well for 9 years. So I have been searching for a way to use the Thule on my Subaru and I may have found solution. Thule no longer...

We haven’t canoed yet, between traveling earlier this year and the heat/humidity it been tough. Hope to start this August up in the dak’s.

If you go on dutchwaregear.com you can buy webbing by the foot.

I am thinking of putting stainless steel marine eye straps on the bow and stern. Mount them with stainless steel screws to the E6 carbon end decks.

You’re going to love that canoe. Enjoy

Yes, that’s the only thing I dislike about our 2023 Outback Limited XT, the rack. I am going to try Inno INFR mounts to attach my Thule square bars on the aluminum corners of the current rack. The rack on the new 2026 Outback is going to be good for carrying canoes.

Nobody is going to be driving anywhere if this Apocalypse involves EMP’s.

Ok, no need for pictures. My 2023 XT has the not canoe friendly factory rack. Wish it had the Wilderness rack, but looks like the new 2026 Outback will have a better rack.

Bill, what year Outback and do you have the factory rack? Pictures of your setup?

I had a 230 and paddle low angle, but when I bought my Northstar Trillium pack canoe the cockpit is wider and I noticed the 230 wasn’t in the water very long. Switched to a 250 and the difference was night and day, much more speed.

I have a nice canoe trailer by the Dock Doctors from Ferrisberg, Vermont

Malone racks makes some nice load stops.

You people that believe that deodorant is for the weak, STINK!🤭

I like my Sea to Summit Ether Lite XL and place it on top of a ExPed FlexMat LW for protection and added insulation.

I won’t get out until after June. Just came home from robotic surgery on my bladder, stones and resizing, and my prostate. Kind of sore from those five small incisions for the robot.

Wow, I would like to meet up for lunch, love lunchtime, but unfortunately this year we have plans that have us going in a different direction this year.

I will get PSA’s until I leave this world or have my prostate removed. I knew two gentlemen that were too busy to go to the doctor until urology problems arose. One gentleman 65+ years old decided that sex with his wife was more important than prostate removal and was dead in three months. The...

I had the 18 year old shingle roof on my 12’x20’ storage barn replaced with a standing seam steel roof and it sheds snow every time it snows. Great roof.

I guess I lucked out, I was looking at the Hilleburg site and noticed they had a special offers page that offers their products with slight blemishes or outdated colors. Low and behold they had a 10 X 10 ultralight tarp at a substantial savings, with a blemish on the stuff sack. Nice tarp.

Never had a problem with either my car or truck.
